Pros

Most poor reviews are from those with experiences on the staffing side. But, being a part of the other 'management' side is expectedly very different. Their ideal hire includes well seasoned experts with experience, maturity and ownership. I've worked with many of them and am continually impressed. Great place to do what you love to do. We are given freedom, autonomy and with the support we need from corporate and co-workers.

Cons

Previously there were a few unwritten rules that were counter to spoken values, but recent changes have moved away from those, opening up communication and focusing on changes to make experiences even better.

Pros

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with truly amazing talent. The level of brilliance, compassion and talent is unsurpassed. These people truly care about the customer and what they do. They do great work. I had found my dream job, until COVID-19 forever changed the face of the world.

Cons

I worked in a singular, unique role, therefore no cons I may have experienced would be indicative of the company experience.
